Full product details

Descriptions

Our cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) come from ripe flower buds harvested in Madagascar, mainly in the regions of Atsinanana, Analanjirofo, Vatovavy Fitovinany and Atsimo Atsinanana. Harvesting takes place from October to January, followed by sun-drying, hand-sorting, metal detection and controlled packaging.

The nails range in color from light to dark brown, have a characteristic woody scent of eugenol, and a warm, spicy, and lingering flavor. Quality grading and moisture control ensure a consistent product that meets the requirements of B2B trade and industrial applications.
